Sažetak
An acquired brain injury refers to any type of brain damage that occurs after birth, which is neither due to hereditary disposition nor to degenerative processes, such as ageing, nor to a birth trauma. Long-term consequences of brain injury are difficult to predict. They differ from person to person and range from mild to very serious.
To ensure the quality of life after brain injury, there is a need for comprehensive care that guarantees the continuity of actions and procedures from the moment of injury through the acute period to complete treatment in the post-acute period. In the case of long-term consequences on an individual’s life, we can talk about the long-term need for psychosocial assistance or about long-term psychosocial rehabilitation.
Long-term psychosocial rehabilitation of persons with ABI is a multifaceted, sensitive and demanding process. All its parts are professionally planned and meaningful. It requests individualized, coordinated, continuous technical assistance and support of users of services and their relatives, and thus allows them to once again control their life and enable them to participate in the community.
The contribution will shed light on the grounds, needs and offer of this type of rehabilitation services in Slovenia, where currently there are three specialized day care centres and three specialized programs of institutional care, which is far from covering the needs for such services. There is a huge gap in providing an equal dispersion of services and particularly the lack of accommodation facilities for people with ABI in the whole of Slovenia.
